Inappropriate?Hi my name is myles7897, I volunteer giving support at Live Chat, http://support.mozilla.com/chat.
Take a look at this article, http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox....
Also try safe mode. Safe Mode is a special way of running Firefox that temporarily disables extensions, themes and toolbar changes. If your problem stops while in this mode, we can find the item that is causing the trouble.
Full safe mode instructions are at http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode.
I understand that if crashes are random, it is going to be hard to troubleshoot in safe mode. If this is the case just supply me with the add-ons that you have installed and I'll see what I can do.

I’m sure Firefox will stop frezzing soon.

Inappropriate?I've been recently having issues with the latest version of Firefox as well, 3.5.2. It seems that it's occurs more often on websites that use Java, movies, or applets using that use Javascript. I've tried disabling these options on the browser but still the problem persists. While on Youtube, the videos freeze are hang for maybe 2 seconds, and occur maybe 3 - 4 times in a short 5 min video. I will try save mode and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks for the post Josh.

Inappropriate?I've noticed the .NET Framework Assistant global extension can cause such freezes, here's how to fully uninstall it.. More info here. -
Inappropriate?I have experienced many freezing situations, mostly using yahoo mail under Linux, but also in some other occasions (Firefox 3.0.13). Its frustrating since I am a big fan of Mozilla's. I still think Firefox is fast and safer than some other navigator...
I’m sad
